To attract tourist to visit Lapu - Lapu, the City is branding itself as the Historic Resort City. Why Historic Resort City?
According to the City Mayor, Hon. Paz C. Radaza, "We, Oponganons are proud of our illustrious past. We want to show the world how proud we are of what our forefathers did in the Liberty Shrine of Mactan."
